The treatment of head trauma: implications for the future
Abstract
The basic aspects of care and organization are going to be most important in these patients: determining who is best suited to provide the care, determining the best treatment, and determining the best venues for treatment. With regard to newer treatments, it will be necessary not only to definitely establish the efficacy of treatment but also to convince the individuals supporting what will be large, expensive trials that this extra benefit is worth the effort and expense required.
